The Faraday Energy Glass PERC S3 is a robust 200Wp glass solar panel for motorhomes (and also boats), with modern monocrystalline PERC cells. This panel is often a great choice if you want extra charging capacity but have less roof space than with larger panels.
Tip: most questions are not about the panel, but about “what else do I need?” That is clearly explained below.
What can you expect from solar panels on a motorhome?
- You charge your leisure battery as soon as there is sun, so you can stay off-grid longer.
- The yield depends on solar radiation, season and the battery state of charge.
- When the battery is mostly full, the charge controller automatically reduces the charging current. This is normal behavior.
On motorhomes, solar panels are usually mounted flat on the roof. The yield therefore mainly depends on sun strength, season and battery status.
Why this 200Wp panel?
Practical choice with limited roof space
- 200Wp is often a nice balance between yield and available roof space.
- Fits well in installations where you don't want “maximum,” but do want noticeable extra charging (fridge, lighting, phone/laptop, water pump).
Modern cell technology (PERC + 13 busbars)
- Monocrystalline PERC cells with high efficiency (up to 22.9%).
- 13 busbars per cell for efficient current distribution.
- Two-part design + bypass diodes help especially with partial shading.
Robust for motorhome use
- Sturdy aluminum frame and tempered glass.
- Weather-resistant junction box.
- UV- and weather-resistant cables with MC4 connectors (cable length 80 cm).
Highlighted: 2 “islands” (parallel) – better with partial shade
This Faraday panel is built from two parallel-connected parts (“islands”). This means that in practice, the panel often continues to perform better when one part (partially) is in the shade — something that happens regularly when camping (roof hatch, lamppost, tree branches).
- Practical advantage: less “collapse” of yield when one part of the panel is shaded.
- Convenient on motorhomes: shade is often local, not over the entire panel.
Shade is and always will be detrimental; this design helps especially with partial shade.
Warranty
- 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
- 10-year power warranty > 90%.
What else do you need? (complete set in 5 steps)
For 1× 200Wp on an existing motorhome, you usually need this:
1) Charge controller (MPPT)
- Faraday SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 — smart choice, good price/quality ratio.
- Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 — Victron ecosystem, VictronConnect app.
For one 200Wp panel, a 100/20 is a logical match in many 12V motorhomes. Want to expand with extra panels later? Send us your plans, so we can prevent you from having to buy again later.
2) Solar cable set (panel → MPPT)
6mm² is relatively thick: less voltage drop and often the safer choice for longer cable routes.
3) Battery cable set + fuse (MPPT → leisure battery)
- Battery cable set 6mm² 2 × 1m + 25A fuse (fuse on the battery side)
This is the “installation wire” to connect the charge controller neatly and safely to the service/leisure battery.
4) Roof penetration (cables inside)
- Plastic double roof penetration white (most popular choice)
- Other options: all cable penetrations
5) Cable management on the roof

Dimensions & placement
- Dimensions (l × w × d): 1530 × 670 × 35 mm
- Weight: 10 kg
- Cables: UV-/weather-resistant solar cables with MC4 (length 80 cm)
Tip: make a cardboard “template” of the dimensions and lay it on the roof (or measure between roof hatches, roof racks and ventilation). Then you will immediately know if this size fits comfortably.
Mounting: which fastening fits your motorhome roof?
Bus campers (roof with corrugations/grooves): usually Z-profiles
- Aluminum Z-profiles (set of 6) — simple, strong and practical on roofs with corrugations.
Flat roofs (semi-/integral): corner supports or spoilers
Kit & primers
For plastic corner supports/spoilers, we recommend construction kit + corresponding primers. Often there are two primers: one for metal (roof) and one for plastic (fastening).
- View our assortment: glue, primer and kit
If in doubt: combine with mechanical fastening (screws) and seal neatly with kit.

Frequently asked questions
Does this 200Wp panel fit on an MPPT 100/20?
In many 12V motorhomes, that is a good combination. The most important difference is often in your expansion plan: if you want to add extra panels later, it is smart to take that into account now in the choice.
I want to install 2 panels: series or parallel? (and 12V/24V)
With these Faraday panels, we usually recommend parallel connection for two panels (not in series). That fits well with 12V systems and utilizes the advantage of the two “islands” with partial shade.
- 12V charging: 1–2 panels in parallel is often the most logical choice in practice.
- 24V battery charging: these panels are less ideal; then preferably choose a panel type that is more focused on series configurations (one string/“island”).
- Important (safety): combine our 200Wp and 225Wp panels up to 2 panels in parallel to stay within the maximum current of the MC4 connector.
Unsure about your situation (12V/24V, MPPT choice, expanding)? Send us your plan, then we will quickly check if everything remains electrically neat and safe.
Why do you recommend 6mm² cable?
Thicker cable means less voltage drop and less heat at the same current. This helps especially with longer cable routes.
